Description

    Technical Field
  • The present invention relates to formazan derivatives useful as reactive dye and a process for producing the derivatives. More specifically, the present invention relates to a novel dicyclic metal complex formazan derivatives used as a light blue dye and a process for producing the derivatives.
  • Background Art
  • Generally, metal complex formazan derivatives are used as complex salt of divalent or trivalent metal such as copper, nickel, cobalt and chromee, have brighter colors than conventional azo dyes, and have an excellent compatibility with the other color dyes as compared with anthraquinone or dioxazine- based dyes.
  • Formazan derivatives as reacive dyes which have a form of copper complex or have a vinylsulfone group or both of vinylsulfone group and monochlorotriazine, have been developed long time ago. The conventional formazan are mostly tricyclic. Most of them are 2-carboxyl-5-sulfo-phenylhydrazine as hydrazine compound. These tricyclic formazans are expensive in manufactruing and poor in stability for alkali at the time of room tepperature immersion (cold pad) dyeing.
  • Typical tricyclic formazan compounds have the following formula:
    Figure 00020001
    Specifically, Japanese Patent Publication No.81-4783 describes a compound represented by the below formula:
    Figure 00020002
  • However, the said compound of Japanese Patent Publication No.81-4783 is not good in solubility, dyeing property and state of remained bath. In addition, Japanese Patent Publication Sho 55-12187 and EP 0,099,721 disclose tricyclic formazan derivatives as dye similiar to the compound of the Japanese Patent Publication No.81-4783. But, these dyes are expensive in manufacturing cost and are not good in fastness.
  • Further, United Kingdom Patent Publication 1,194,504 discloses dicyclic formazan derivatives having the following formula:
    Figure 00030001
  • The said dicyclic formazan derivatives is also not good in fastness and dyeing property.
  • USP 4,607,098 discloses a compound of the following formula which has more improved fastness than the said dicyclic formazan derivatives:
    Figure 00040001
    However, these formazan compounds known in USP 4,607,098 have also somewhat problems in dyeing property and chlorine water.

  • Best Mode for Conducting the Invention
  • Process for preparing formazan derivatives according to the present invention is more specifically described in the following examples, however the present invention is not intended to be restricted to the examples.
  • Example 1

Aquous solution obtained by solubilize 26.2 parts of copper sulfate to water is added thereto. pH of the solution is controled in the range from 3 to 5 with 20% sodium carbonate aquous solution obtained by solubilizing sodium carbonate and reaction is conducted for one hour. The reaction is conducted at elevated temperature of 40 to 50°C for one hour to complete the reacition. The reaction solution is cooled to the room temperatrue, and 20% of sodium chloride based on the entire solution is added to this solution, and stirred for one hour. The precipitate is filtered out to give formazan derivatives. The formazan derivatives is added to a solution of sodium hydroxide, hydrolized by heating at temperatureof 90 °C for one hour to obtain the product. As a result, dicyclic formazan derivatives represented by the below formula is obtained by removing acetyl group from the product:

The mixture is heated to temperature of 40°C, and is maintained at pH 5 to 6 for 25 hours.
  • To the reaction-completed solution is added sodium chloride to give preciitate which is filtered out to obtain blue(603 nm) formazan derivatives of the below formula:
